We decided to celebrate our anniversary at this fancy bar-like restaurant located near Parliament station.
You walk up to a romantic well-designed space with friendly staff who are quick to seat you down and fun to chat with. The dining was buzzing with chill vibes filled with couples drinking and laughing the night away. The only complaint would be it was a little dark to see what we were eating.
We ordered the feed me banquet for two, since we don’t have Mexican cuisine much and we’re excited to get adventurous. Be warned, as the banquet can be very filling, even though my partner and I have big appetites.
Firstly, they offered some tortilla chips to start off with. We could tell they were freshly made, and everything was perfect like any basic nachos. This was, however, not on the list of out feed me and had no idea until we paid, but nothing to complain about when it was yummy!
The dishes I really enjoyed and would recommend from the feed me banquet were: ceviche, shellfish tostadita, quesadilla and any of their larger dishes.
The ceviche and shellfish tostadita is what I will be coming back for - these were to die for. The fish were so fresh, and the addition of the tangy citric flavours made the dish not only fresher but more explosive in the mouth.
The restaurant created the tastiest thing i had ever had that now whenever I go to any Mexican restaurant, I have to order quesadillas. The quesadilla is made up of a yummy goat’s cheese, with caramelised onions, corns and pork chorizo, drizzled with a spicy kick of spicy mayo. There was so much going on, but the elements all blended well together, almost as if I was eating a burger!
The pork tacos were just as delicious, with the well seasoned pulled pork, and the pork scratchings giving that crunch, and the chilli and herbs giving that freshness and kick.
The corn was really buttery, and the addition of the lime and chipotle mayo was a heavenly combination of flavours executed well.
I loved their main dish, which was a slow cooked beef with an abundant amount of some rich beefy sauce and some peanuts, which worked really well together. The beef, however, was slightly tough and dry, which wasn’t enjoyable compared to the other dishes that dealt more with raw ingredients.
The Mexican tomato rice, however, was a let down. I wasn’t sure whether the hard undercooked rice was a Mexican feature, but it was very bland. The only thing I enjoyed on that dish were those sweet potato crisps.
By the time we got on the rice, my partner and I were very full, which could mean my opinion for the rest of the dishes may be skewed. We got a nice sweetcorn icecream with caramel popcorn to finish the night, but I was too full to enjoy, but the popcorn did taste slightly chewy.
This is a very late review and some dishes may not be available anymore, however, the unique experience of Mexican cuisine is truly worth it at Mamasita. I will be coming back with friends to enjoy their drink options and finger-licking dishes.
Good Mexican food in the city. Corn is well cooked and has great flavour. The slow cooked meat falls off the bone. Service is good.
Probably the best Mexican I have been to. Close quarters dining in well designed space. Staff were friendly with a fast paced service. We had one of the banquet options which is fully recommended. Each course had a unique take on the traditional Mexican dishes. Mad selection if tequilas for those who like that spirit.
absolutely delicious food we especially enjoyed the potatoes guac and the jackfruit tacos!! the only downside was an annoying bar tender/server that kept coming to our table asking us if we wanted tequila even though we said we weren’t drinking haha
Came here on a weekend with a booking, we were running late but I was very happy with how the staff waited for us and didn’t try to rush us.
The corn was good, although I regret not getting corn on the cob.
We ordered a serve of all the different tacos and surprisingly we enjoyed the ox tongue the most!( not expecting it) the fish and calamari and pork were quite standard and it didn’t feel too different to where I’ve had it before.
However we did not enjoy the pineapple punch as much😢
Everything else we were happy with.
wow what a delightful dining experience! my friend and i chose the "feed me" option. after the first bite i took i was already in heaven! the flavours were so delicious! my friend and i had such a good time! it was an amazing food journey! also the vibe of the place is really relaxed and friendly. and the staff are super attentive and friendly! i highly recommend thsi place! you should make a booking too, because it is quite popular.
Great food, great cocktails and friendly service. Will be back.
Been wanting to visit this institution for a while. We tried a few different dishes which were all very delicious. The spare ribs absolutely melt in your mouth. Bit pricey for the size but worth the try. Must eat with the sauces! Will return.
I really love this place. I've been here a few times and it never disappoints. We arrived around 3.30pm, just before it started to get busy, so we were seated quite easily. We ordered the corn chips and guacamole, the fish tacos, and corn on the cob. The fish tacos were cooked to perfection, although I felt it had slightly too much cabbage. The corn was a highlight, definitely a must try! This place is worth queuing up for, I will keep coming back.
Great fancy Mexican food. Good atmosphere. Most tables are bar tables with stools, which isn't a problem, unless you really care about traditional chairs.
Really friendly and helpful staff. Food came promptly and was hard to fault.
Hard to go wrong here, great service, good food, excellent vibe. We had the corn along with lamb, fish, and pork Tacos. All of them were good but the pork taco really stood out with how juicy the pulled pork was. Also recommend adding the jalapeño sauces as they were great.

Came recommended to me by friends and family. We walked in and noticed mostly men in suits. Didn’t have a reservation and got one of the last tables. No nachos on the menu. But the tacos were the best we’d ever had!!
High ceilings, quite sophisticated mexican bar vibe. Table and bar seating available. Service is very friendly. I recommend everyone to come here. It’s hard to find mexican this good in Sydney.
Came back a year later with my mum and dad and didn’t like the corn tortillas, prefer flour. Mum doesn’t like coriander haha
We even got adventurous and tried the goat tostadas! They were great!
My favourite; Grilled fish tacos with achiote, red onion salsa, cabbage, lime and chipotle mayo - such amazing fish tacos! $7
Great service 👏 good food even though we didn't like the beef, barely touched it and had to return because sauce tasted weird.
I got wrong flavored drink served but the waitress was actively willing to fix the mistake.
She took the beef back and asked if we want anything else. We ordered second round of pork belly and fish tacos 🌮 because they were delicious. Definitely recommended to have those.
Octopus was a bit plain but we still ate it. Corn on cob was good too. We didn't get charged for beef which is nice because we didn't eat it.
At the end, we were happily surprised that the second round of tacos were complementary as well even though we didn't ask for free food. So, well done on customer service 👏 thank you
Amazing! Will be back and try more stuff! Love the tacos and our server (long hair guy, sorry I forgot to ask your name) is so attentive and even make sure I was ok with the food as I’m pregnant! Marvelous! Top notch service. Also we did ask about their famous corn ice cream and he made it happen for us! Such an amazing dinner. Thank you again and again! He deserves a reward!
The food was fantastic, the cocktails were amazing (highly recommend the Mexican Mojito) and the service was exceptional! One of the absolute best restaurants in Melbourne with a great vibe. A++
We loved our recent dinner at Mamasita. The staff are delightful and know their stuff: they helped us choose some tasty beverages. The food is knock-out delicious and probably the best Mexican in Melbourne. Try the degustation! The restaurant has a beautiful, magical atmosphere, and even the high tables are comfortable. We can't wait to come back. ❤️
Fantastic service. We were seated at the bar and I have to say we had the best seats in the house. The bartenders are so engaging, entertaining and KIND! Incredible group of humans, and it took the already amazing food to brand new heights for the evening. Thank you Mamasita!
